Update: He has been found. Thank you all!

🚨 Be on the Lookout 🚨

We’ve just got word that Champ has jumped his Foster’s fence on Woodland St. He currently is not wearing his collar with information, but he is microchipped. If you see him, please let us know.

The staff are no longer at the shelter, so please either comment here or email me at [email protected]

We are closed today due to the weather. Staff have made it in to feed, clean, and provide larger water buckets to our heavier drinkers. The dogs will remain locked inside today where it is warm. Stay safe everyone!

In July 2022, we got the most adorable little lab puppy named Maggie. As we were sorting through the MANY applications for this girl, we were contacted by Warrior Freedom Service Dogs. We checked their credentials and decided to let Maggie be tested to see if she qualified. She did! We’ve received a few updates on her and this is the latest. She is now fully trained and with her Veteran.

“Dear Cheryl,
I wanted to update you on one of your adoptees.
Warrior Freedom Service Dogs adopted a young "golden retriever/lab" puppy on July 26, 2022.

Maggie was paired with her veteran from Tuscaloosa, Alabama this past Fall. She graduated from our program on December 2, 2024.

In addition, Maggie attended the University of Alabama's graduation with her veteran who graduated on December 14, 2024. (Maggie got to wear her own graduation gown!)

Thank you for allowing us to adopt Maggie. She is changing her veteran's life daily.

Warmest regards,

Julie E. Jones-Thornton, CPDT-KA, ABCSDT
Training Director, Warrior Freedom Service Dogs”

Yesterday, we decided to let our sweet Holly get adopted. We’ve been talking to her new mom for a bit now and the home sounded perfect for Holly’s needs. It was bittersweet watching her leave but we know that she is in a wonderful home and will be greatly cared for! We’re really going to miss her in the lobby though.

Wasabi Update!

The first two photos are of the day we caught him 11-22-24. The rest of the photos are of today, 47 days later. Wasabi is making so much progress and we are very proud of him!

With the winter rolling in, we aren't able to get our dogs out in the yard as much, so we have to rely on enrichment in the kennels more than in the summer. We like to use heavy chewer toys, puzzle games, peanut butter matts and Kongs. We are currently low on peanut butter. If you'd like to pick some up the next time you're at the store and donate it for our dog enrichment, we'd greatly appreciate it! We also have some heavy chewer toys on our Amazon Wishlist if you'd prefer to send something like that for the dogs. https://a.co/ccZd3i5

UPDATE: We have a foster.

Elvis needs a place to crash for a few days.

Elvis will be leaving us on Friday the 10th. He is looking for a foster home from tomorrow at 10:00am until Friday. It's cold this week and we're trying to get everyone inside. If you have room on your couch for Elvis until Friday, please get in touch with us and we'll set up the foster.

He is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative and on prevention, and microchipped. He is from a hoarding case and is most likely not potty trained, but a previous foster said he did use the doggy door. He gets along with dogs, especially smaller dogs and he gets along with children. He has been in a foster with cats before and while interested, did not try to approach them. Foster must keep him indoors. A heated garage is also acceptable.

If interested in fostering until Friday, please call 931-454-9580 or email [email protected]

Thank you to everyone that came out and saw the dogs today. Thank you to the donors, dog walkers, and PetSmart!

Mr. Sims has gone on a foster-to-adopt trial.
Elvis, Clove, and Bucky got to meet a cockatoo. Elvis was super interested until the bird screamed at him to back up.

We’ll see everyone in two weeks at Tractor Supply!

We got an update from Grady (previously Gravy) and Scrappy (previously Hugo)'s dad on how their first Christmas went. Grady was adopted in March and Scrappy was taken home at Bark in the Park in October and adopted shortly after. They are getting along with their new brother and are both fitting in well as a new family!

Lovely Xena is still looking for a home. She is dog friendly and loves everyone that she meets. She is right at a year old and is high energy. She loves spending time in the play yard, making new friends, stuffed toys, and water. Xena is the one with the ear that has decided to point straight up as a default. She has been with us to an adoption event before but is best met here at the shelter where she can run around in the play yard and show you her energy. She would make a great family pet.

We’re here til 2pm! Petsmart Tullahoma

It’s obvious who has been burying toys in the play yard now.

It doesn’t matter that there is an unoccupied bone 3 inches from Ham’s foot, what matters is sharing is caring and Hazel‘s bone looks delicious!

Lots of requests for updates on Wasabi. He went to the vet on Monday. We had to put him in a trap and he had to be sedated at the vet in order to be checked out. He has what appears to be hip dysplasia in the right hip and he had gravel in his stomach.We got a tip on the previous owner and on Monday, with the help of the Police Department, they were found. Wasabi now has a court date. The good news is, he is highly food motivated. Yesterday, I was able to feed him (through the fence for now) from my hand without any showing of teeth or growling. Today, he wagged his tail at me the tiniest bit. He fully recognizes me as the good food lady and that’s what we’re going to build this relationship on. He is no where near adoptable and will require a lot of rehabilitation to see if he ever gets to that point both medically and behaviorally. For now, we’re taking the small wins and watching to see if he passes this gravel.

And now the door is open and she’s awake.

And then I opened the door.

Dear Citizen, We still have your ball of energy that we picked up three days ago. This was the reaction to just seeing Chris walking towards the door. This is more energy than we can contain on a Monday morning. If you are missing your puppy, please contact us.
